Hi Dave,
55 to 75 ft lbs.
Please say you'll buy an AIM and a CHASSIS SERVICE MANUAL even if you're not!

Would love to come to Scotland for x-mas, but I can send you the PDF version of the AIM a lot cheaper.... http://willcoxcorvette.com/product_i...ducts_id=25582 The shipping to you would be 12.95 and the book 20.00. (Sales will edit the shipping if it is higher when you check out).

They must have raised the torque in 78. I just looked at the 78 Aim, torque was between 60-80 lbs.
